    New Year, Real Talk! Cheers to 2026!

    Pop the bubbly and set a higher bar. We’re stepping into 2026 with a clear lens on discipline, audacity, and accountability—and what it really takes to turn a fresh year into a fruitful one. The celebration is short; the focus is sharp. We talk about cutting the noise, choosing fewer goals, and giving them full energy, while learning when to say no to the trips, trends, and time sinks that dilute results. Our conversation zeros in on character in the internet age. We unpack a viral moment that crossed a line with a child and use it to explore why bringing back shame—understood as accountability, not cruelty—matters for creators, parents, and anyone with a platform. Clout fades, but choices stick, and kids are watching. We draw a bright line between holding someone accountable and “hate,” and we explain how to repair harm without performing for the algorithm. Self-care gets a reality check. Boundaries are vital, but hyper-individualism can mask disregard for others. We make the case for community: villages that raise standards, friends who tell you when you’re off, and circles that won’t tolerate constant mess. Discernment becomes a daily practice—reading the room, checking your intention, and aligning your presence online and offline. You don’t need to walk on eggshells; you need to be present, respectful, and bold where it counts. We close with a practical charge: audit your time, curate your circle, and use audacity as fuel for meaningful action—pitch the brand, start the project, build the table. If you know better, do better, and let the results speak all year long. If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friend who’s leveling up, and drop a review—what’s your non-negotiable for 2026?

    S2 | EP 15: The Art Of Being A Good Guest And An Even Better Friend

    The holidays don’t always sparkle—and that’s okay. This is a softer, saner take on the season, focused on showing up as we are, finding joy in small rituals, and letting go of pressure and perfection. From slow mornings and cozy movie nights to simple ways to create a warm home vibe, we explore how to celebrate without burning out. We also get practical about hosting and visiting. Think no-stress prep like stocking the fridge early, setting out fresh linens, and keeping a few thoughtful touches on hand. We talk airport pickups, delivery apps, loose itineraries that respect energy and budgets, and how clear plans are often the kindest form of love. For guests, we share etiquette hosts truly appreciate—helping with laundry and dishes, respecting quiet hours, and bringing an easy, thoughtful gift. Through it all, the message is simple: presence beats perfection. This is your permission to do less, enjoy more, protect your peace, and measure the season by connection—not checklists. • late holiday prep and choosing joy anyway • stocking the home before guests arrive • airport pickups as a love language with limits • budgets, boundaries and expectation setting • using delivery apps to protect energy • low-cost plans that still feel special • guest etiquette that eases the load • starting laundry and running the dishwasher • quiet hours, coasters and tidy spaces • gifts that land: flowers, wine, diffusers Please like, comment, subscribe, keep playing it even if you’re falling asleep, and leave us a voice note on SpeakPipe Support the show

    S2 | EP 13: How To Elevate Your Space Without Wasting Money

    Ready to make your place feel like home, not a showroom? We dive into the mindset, methods, and money moves that turn any space into something elevated, personal, and deeply livable. We start where most people don’t: cleansing and blessing the home to set the tone. From there, we chart a clear path to a luxe-meets-comfort vibe, focusing on choices that reflect who we are rather than what’s trending in the feed. We unpack why “buy slow” is the best design tip you’ll ever hear—especially for big-ticket items like sofas, mattresses, and nightstands that should survive years, not months. Expect real talk on Wayfair vs outlets, the power of Facebook Marketplace, and how to spot quality in a sea of lookalikes. We also share budget-friendly upgrades with outsized impact: layered low lighting, wall molding painted to match, high-and-wide curtains, and strategic pops of color from accent walls to DIY limewash. Sponsor Ozarke gets a shout for statement lamps and fixtures that add warmth and shape without a remodel. Room by room, we call the hits and misses. Living rooms thrive on moody lamps and meaningful art; kitchens work best when stations match your routine; bathrooms come alive with shelves, greenery, and spa textures; bedrooms get calmer with fewer pillows and better drapery. We push back on overdone panels, art-as-TV, and endless luxury books, and we champion character—vintage finds, restored vanities, funky lamps, and the piece you drove an hour for because you loved it. If you want a home that looks premium, functions beautifully, and still feels unmistakably you, this one’s packed with practical, proven steps. If this helped you rethink your space, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who’s decorating, and leave a quick review—tell us the first upgrade you’re tackling next! Support the show

    S2 | EP 12: Self advocacy is the difference between life and death

    It started with a pebble—small, hard, and easy to ignore. A rushed appointment. A quick dismissal. And then, a phone call that stopped everything. At 33, Tierra Neal was young, healthy, and busy raising her son when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. No family history. No warning signs. Just a moment that changed everything. In this episode, Tierra opens up about what it’s like to fall through the cracks of a system that wasn’t built for you—and what it takes to climb back out with faith, knowledge, and community as your armor. She shares the moments doctors overlooked, the questions that saved her life, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up when your body feels like a stranger. What begins as one woman’s story becomes a universal one—about listening to your instincts, finding your voice, and turning pain into purpose. Through her advocacy with the Bexa Equity Alliance, Tierra is now helping women access care that meets them where they are—no clinic required. This conversation is raw, hopeful, and unforgettable. Because sometimes, the stories we least expect are the ones that remind us how fragile—and how powerful—we really are. Support the show

    S2 | E11: Being Likable Will Get You Far ft. TyreakToldYou

    You don’t need a million followers to build a real creator career—you need a voice people trust. We invited our friend Tyreek, who we go way back with from our BET days, to share how he went from a hot, off-the-cuff TikTok rant to a full-time creator stacking income streams across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. He doesn’t sugarcoat the money talk: his first brand deal rate, the surprising power of Facebook Creator Rewards, TikTok Lives and contests, and why YouTube still pays best when you’re ready to play the long game. We dig into the week’s pop culture swirl—Saweetie rumors, the glossy reboot of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and Debbie Allen’s well-earned Barbie—while unpacking how attention, nostalgia, and “diversity as distraction” shape what we click and buy. The throughline is media literacy and boundaries: how to stay fair, keep receipts, and protect your private life without faking an aesthetic. Tyreek’s take on storytelling lands hard: follow your curiosity and ship consistently. The anime videos he posted on a whim opened new lanes, features, and fans who show up for his voice, not just the topic. We also get personal about resilience. Are you better as the lesson or the learner? Would you choose a public failure or a private comeback? We share how to keep it real without handing the internet your peace, why likability compounds into opportunity, and how to future-proof your business beyond bonuses—think merch, live events, and community touchpoints no algorithm can throttle. If you’re building a platform, this is your field guide: speak plainly, post more than you plan, price higher than you think, and diversify while the window is open. Share this with a friend who’s building their voice, hit follow for more unfiltered conversations, and drop a review to tell us which platform you’re betting on next. Support the show
